Feliciana Hospice and Palliative Care

Description

Hospice is a form of compassionate and quality care for people facing a life-limiting illness or injury. Hospice affirms life and looks at dying as a normal process. It is based on the belief that each of us has the right to die pain free and with dignity, and that our loved ones will receive the support they need to allow us this right.

LHC Group’s Hospice Program is a perfect example of our mission in action: to provide exceptional care and unparalleled service to patients and families who have placed their trust in us. Our multidisciplinary team of medical professionals embraces the philosophy of putting patient needs ahead of all else. Our patients receive
compassionate, personalized care in the comfort
of their homes along with:

• Personalized care from specially trained hospice-certified nurses, staff and home health aides to assist with personal hygiene care;
• Palliative care services managed and directed by physician to manage pain and control symptoms;
• Medications, specialized therapies, and all durable medical equipment required for the terminal diagnosis; and
• Psychological, spiritual and grief support services to the patients and families as needed.
